Day 1: CUSCO - CHINCHERO - MORAY - SALINERAS DE MARAS - PISAC - OLLANTAYTAMBO
Sacred Valley of the Incas, starting at 6:00 AM We’ll drive you for 45 minutes to Chinchero. At Chinchero, our guide will show you around the old Inca site and a beautiful old church. You’ll also get to meet a local family and see how they make traditional fabrics with natural dyes.
Next, we’ll visit Moray to see its amazing round terraces built by the Incas. Our guide will tell you about the history of the place and you’ll have time to take pictures and look around.
Then, we’ll head to the Maras salt mines. You’ll learn how the salt is harvested and see some unique salt crafts. There will be plenty of chances to take photos.
We’ll stop in the lovely town of Urubamba for a tasty buffet lunch around 12:30 PM. After lunch, we go to Ollantaytambo and tour the archaeological site there, finishing around 3:00 PM. If you’d like to end your tour in Ollantaytambo, you can choose to stay.
Lastly, we drive to the Pisac archaeological site. Our guide will take you around the terraces and you can take more stunning photos.

- When planning your trip, please note that travel time between destinations can range from 30 minutes to one hour by car. During these journeys, you’re not just traveling; you’re already beginning to enjoy the stunning views of the Sacred Valley.
- At each site you visit, you will have between 30 minutes and an hour to explore and deeply appreciate its historical and cultural significance.
- For those who have not yet purchased a tourist ticket, there is no need to worry. You can buy one at Chinchero, which is our first stop on the tour.
Why choose this tour? Unlike standard Sacred Valley tours, this full-day itinerary includes all of the Sacred Valley's major highlights—Chinchero, Moray, Maras Salt Mines, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo—in a single day. Many lower-priced tours visit fewer sites and follow a shorter itinerary. If you prefer a slower pace with more time at each destination, we also recommend our 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour, offering a more relaxed and immersive experience.
